systemctl: I don't think anyone cares about a change of command name / syntax, it's the removal of flexible, small, readable, plain text files that is the problem. That the underlying init system of linux no longer follows the linux philosophy boggles the mind.
- pling 12y agoYes they reinvented some text files as the NT event log... TBH the first thing I do is ship the logs off the box so journald seems a waste of space.
- frio 12y agoI have to disagree. I've written some stupidly big init.d scripts in my time. Replacing them with: [Unit] Description=My dumb script [Service] Exec=/usr/local/bin/dumb-script And no longer caring about PIDs, forking, etc. has been very refreshing. I agree, however, that systemd feels too monolithic, and I question the wisdom behind journald.
